- Mozilla Revokes Firefox and Thunderbird Linux Signing Key After Key Lands in Private Repo
Mozilla has scrapped the cryptographic signing key used for Firefox and Thunderbird downloads on Linux. This action was necessary after an unencrypted copy of the key was mistakenly committed to one of the company's private code repositories. Previously, this key allowed users and Linux distributions to confirm that downloaded Firefox tarballs originated from Mozilla and were untampered with.
